Yuchi Baolin handed over the drawings and said: "Brother Qin, find one, take a look."
Qin Huaidao took the drawing and looked at it. The distribution of residents in Nagasaki was marked on it. He also compared it with the overall regional distribution map of the Japanese country drawn by himself. He made a decision in his heart and solemnly said: "Baolin, Luo Ying, I have a new idea, give up."
For the ground attack plan, there is no need to stick to Nagasaki and negotiate with Japan. Both of these methods are actually very risky, and the probability of success is too low. Instead, use leapfrog tactics and go directly to Osaka Prefecture."
"Leap-frog tactic, what is leap-frog tactic?" Yuchi Baolin was a little surprised.
"Have you ever seen a frog jumping?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Yuchi Baolin and Luo Ying nodded quickly.
Qin Huaidao pointed to the map and said: "This is Nagasaki. We are just a frog. We jump directly from Nagasaki to Osaka Prefecture without disturbing all the cities in between. This saves time, avoids being entangled by the enemy, and reduces casualties.
The fastest way is to arrive at Osaka Prefecture and capture it in one go."
"hiss--"
Both of them were shocked by Qin Huaidao's boldness and unbridled ideas. How could the battle be fought like this?
In the two people's inherent thinking, the battle should be fought step by step, clearing out all remaining enemies along the way, avoiding logistical troubles, and finally going straight to Huanglong.
The Leapfrog tactic was completely the opposite. They skipped the intermediate steps and marched directly to the city. Thinking about this strategy, it was really exciting. The two men's breathing suddenly became rapid. It was even harder to calm down when they thought about taking the Japanese capital, Osaka Prefecture.
"Brother Qin, I listen to you, how to fight specifically?" Yuchi Baolin asked.
"I've never heard of this style of play, tell us." Luo Ying also urged.
"It will be done in two steps."
Qin Huaidao pointed to Nagasaki on the map and explained: "To the north is the West Sea from here. The population size is similar to Nagasaki. It can be reached in an hour by sea. We will set out after dawn to capture the interests in one fell swoop and take away all the food and finances.
Don’t kill them all and send someone to report the news.”
"Reporting a message would expose his whereabouts?" Yuchi Baolin reminded.
"What we want is for our whereabouts to be exposed. When the Japanese royal family heard that there was an invasion and lost both Nagasaki and Xihai, they would definitely send troops over, but they can't arrive in one day. We can safely stay in Xihai for one day to replenish supplies and fresh water.
We set off early the next morning and continued north along the coast until we reached Hirado. This is also a large city. We also did not want to kill everyone and attract more reinforcements. Our army rested for one night, turned around and headed south after dawn, and headed straight for Osaka Prefecture.
Let's go so that the enemy can't figure out our movements." Qin Huaidao drew a line along the map with his finger and stopped at the location of Osaka Prefecture.
"Continuously attack Nagasaki, Saikai, and Hirado, and then go south. This is a plan to attack the east and attack the west. The Japanese country does not know it and will mobilize large forces to support it, leaving Osaka Prefecture with no troops. When our army suddenly reaches Osaka Prefecture,
There are no reinforcements left, so this is a good idea." Yuchi Baolin's eyes shone with emotion.
"What a surprise attack in the east and a leap-frog tactic. Who would have thought that our target is Osaka Prefecture? We can definitely catch them off guard, just do it." Luo Ying also became excited.
"No problem, let's settle it. The explosive packs and earth mines are placed on the ship without carrying them. The deputy commander of Huying will lead the troops to guard it. It's getting late. Have a good rest tonight. Brothers from Langying will work hard and block the main road tonight.
The news cannot spread, otherwise the West Sea will be prepared." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying did not answer immediately, but looked at the map, his eyes sparkling, and suddenly said: "Uncle, this is not far from the West Sea. How about I lead the Wolf Camp to march quickly and launch an attack overnight, and we can capture it at dawn."
"No, brothers are too tired all the way here. In addition, they are not physically strong from the battle just now. They need to have a good night's rest before we talk tomorrow." Qin Huaidao denied with a firm attitude.
Fighting is no child's play and all details must be considered.
Luo Ying agreed, stopped insisting, and went to command the army.
Yuchi Baolin also became busy, arranging prisoners and transporting trophies. He was very busy.
Qin Huaidao became the shopkeeper and led a team of villagers around to look at the customs and architectural features of the Japanese country in this era. They were all low wooden houses, which looked very simple and low, with herringbone slopes.
, Such deconstruction can reduce the impact of typhoons.
The streets are narrow and empty, all the shops are closed, and there is not a single local resident in sight. It looks very monotonous and very poor. The civil war has just ended, reunification has been achieved, the economy is depressed, and everything is in dire need.
Qin Huaidao suddenly thought of a question and said to the team leader next to him: "The Japanese country has just been unified. Do you think that without the royal family, will it fall into civil war again?"
"Probably, I don't know. Young Master, this question is too profound." Duan Zheng said awkwardly.
"Go back and make up lessons, you lack political thinking." Qin Huaidao said angrily.
As soon as the other party heard the supplementary lesson, his head suddenly became big and his head was buzzing, and he quickly said: "Young Master, you can let me go to the devil training. Studying is too difficult and will kill people."
"What can you do if you don't study? You can be generals in the future."
"No, I'll be content just staying by the young master's side."
Qin Huaidao was startled, smiled bitterly, and said no more. He stopped and looked at the sea. The waves were undulating, and there were countless boats of different sizes on the pier. Several seabirds chased and played in the sky, and their cries broke the tranquility of the harbor. Qin Huaidao's heart also
I was a little confused, thinking of Chang'an, my family, and my daughter.
"Are they all okay?"
"It's best if nothing happens, otherwise..."
The next moment, Qin Huaidao's eyes turned cold, and murderous intent burst out.
…
Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.
Li Erduan sat on the dragon couch, looking at the important ministers below him with cold eyes. He was calm and majestic, and no one could see through his true thoughts.
Below, the courtiers bowed their heads and remained silent, each with their own thoughts.
Originally, everyone in the imperial court expressed their opinions and argued endlessly. The more arguments were made, the more clear the truth was, and the officials were clear in their governance. Even if there were conflicts, different opinions would be expressed directly. But now they are all hidden, for fear that if they say something wrong, the atmosphere of court discussions will change drastically.
No one knows when this change started, not even Li Er, but he doesn't care, the imperial edict enjoys this kind of high-mindedness and one-word speech.
Thinking of what he had done to Wu Cairen last night, the hearty feeling and the beauty of returning to glory made people addicted and in a good mood. Li Er made a stronger decision in his heart. He looked at everyone and said: "My dear friends, salt is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. It is of vital importance.
Importantly, it is imperative to review the Salt Law. Only by bringing it back to the court, unified management, and unified prices, the court can collect part of the taxes and fees, and the people can also buy low-price salt, killing two birds with one stone. This matter will no longer be discussed, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will come up with it as soon as possible.
Charter.”
"According to the order!" Some officials responded one after another with bright eyes.
However, many officials, represented by Fang Xuanling and others, looked sad and did not say anything.
Wei Zheng turned livid with anger and was about to stand up to object, but was stopped by Fang Xuanling. He looked over with some confusion. When Fang Xuanling shook his head, he felt confused, but he still held it back.
Li Er saw that there were not many people who agreed with him, and most of the old ministers disagreed. He felt unhappy and became more determined to support the new force to counter the old ministers' idea. He looked at the old ministers with unkind eyes, but he did not point out that as long as they did not stand up to oppose
That's it, he continued: "One more thing, regarding the issue of hiring farmers to work, farmers cultivate, merchants traffic, scholars study and govern the country, workers produce, and scholars, farmers, industry and merchants all perform their duties, then the world is peaceful, farmers go to work, and farmland is abandoned
, The world is short of food, and there will inevitably be chaos. This matter has been debated for some time, and it is time to make a decision."
After saying that, Li Er's eyes became cold and stern, and he swept around the old minister.
If it were in the past, the veterans headed by Fang Xuanling would definitely stand up and object, but at this moment they remained silent as agreed upon.
Li Er felt the alienation of his old ministers. If it were in the past, he would be nervous, worried, and reluctant to leave. But driven by the idea of supporting the new forces, his heart was as cold as ice. In order to clear the obstacles and complete the handover of the old and new regimes, he did some things
It had to be done, so he continued: "Shang Shu, Hubu, please tell me."
Tang Jian, Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter can no longer be debated. The court must make a decision as soon as possible to allow farmers to return to farming and resume production. Food is the foundation of a country, but considering that merchants also need
Employing people to do things cannot be completely banned. If goods are blocked, people's lives will also be damaged. For example, salt needs merchants to transport and sell it. Without salt, ordinary people cannot live. I suggest that the number of people in a business be limited, which will neither affect farming nor merchants.
Trafficking, the best of both worlds.”
"This is a great thing to say. I am sincere in seeking the country, so continue." Li Er said appreciatively.
